World of Warcraft Classic will see its notorious PvP ranking system revamped in a coming update, as Blizzard looks to make the system “healthier.”
As it currently stands, WoW Classic recreates the game’s original PvP ranking system as it worked from 2004-2006. Players looking to climb the ranks aren’t so much battling the other faction as they are competing with like-minded players of their own faction, as they attempt to farm more Honor points than the person next to them. The game’s highest ranks are reserved for only a top percentage of players participating in the PvP system. Taking a day or (God forbid) a week off from the Honor grind means losing weeks or even months of progress and potentially being demoted in rank, incentivizing players to keep pushing and playing at all cost.
